Let it Snow!

We have been wishing for some playable snow around here. So far, the winter has been either freezing cold and dry, or slightly above freezing and rainy. Yesterday we were excited to see some snow actually falling and sticking! We were out at the mall, and when we emerged, there was a layer coating the street. Although it made for some tense moments driving, we made it home safely, and the kids immediately went outside.They were able to sled a little, and E even made a cute snowman.K stayed inside, content to eat a cookie and watch her siblings play.N quickly tired, and came inside to make sure I made good on the promise of hot chocolate.This morning there was a 2 hour delay, so after breakfast they headed out again.This time K insisted on joining them, although she wasn't quite ready to go sledding. After one run down, she preferred to stand at the top and watch.

Besides being fun, the snow completely transformed our barren backyard into a place of beauty.

About Me

I am a 38 year old mother of 3. I grew up in the Philly suburbs(where we live now), went across the state to GCC where I graduated with an education degree, and a husband. I spent the next 3 1/2 years teaching elementary school before starting my current job, as SAHM. My eldest daughter, E was born in 2001. She was followed by my son, N in 2004, and then our baby girl, K in 2007. I started blogging on xanga when N was 1, mainly to keep friends and family members updated on the minutia of our lives. I ended up moving to Blogger in 2007. I am not a consistent blogger, but I try to do updates throughout the year.
